That purple thing - I'm sorry, that thing is just FUGLY!!!!!
I wouldn't say fugly. The rear clip needs to have a section removed from the center....maybe enough to make the bumper halves connect. That way the flow from cab to trunk would be smoother. I am not a fan of purple but that is personal as any vehicle is. It has boat loads of potential

Ok, I respect the time invested but I personally don't like anything about it.

In my mind the fact that the rear clip was left wide gives it that extra character. Fresh thinking? Yes. Fugly? No. I do however agree that there's no nice flow between the cab and the rear clip. Maybe the forward edges can have a subtle taper towards the cab?

Purple Fugly
The whole back end is one solid piece, it will slide back and lift to get access to the rear tire. the whole rear end was about 20 pieces, it was my fathers vision took it to the autorama last month to **** people off but everyone loved it? there are about six cans of engine spray paint on it. We still alot of work to be done, We in the AHG can ruin anything.

Interesting front suspension on a T-Bucket as seen at the Gopher State Timing Assn. show a few hours ago.

It has 2 springs with a plate dividing them. There is one radius rod on the top of the axle on both sides and a single locating link from the center of the axle to the frame. I haven't seen this one on the road but I will look for it this summer and see how it is working for the owner. Not my color!

Yup. I like the front. Where's the radiator? I just can't warm up to purple cars though.
